Most popular last month were:1. Jeremy Corbyn and Hard Left "Infiltration"2. Understanding Jeremy Corbyn's Support3. Harriet Harman's Tax Credit Debacle4. Some Advice for Andy and Yvette5.

Yes, going by the posts that got readers' juices flowing last month you could be forgiven for thinking the blog has become a subsidiary of LabourList.
